Subject: Re: [PATCH] Backlight driver for Tabletkiosk Sahara TouchIT-213	Tablet
 PC

Hi,

> Poking at random ports isn't very nice. Is it possible to autodetect
> this tablet PC ? Has it specific PCI ids or usefull DMI table ?

I didn't find anthing with lspci but can detect through DMI - if you are
interested you find the dmidecode output at the end of
http://claudio.ch/Bin/viewcvs.cgi/Config/sysinfo_touchIt213?rev=294 - and do it
in a similar way as in mbp_nvidia_bl.c. Have done it in the included patch.

Looking at the macbook driver I see it is much simpler and shorter than mine
which I derived from corgi_bl.c. No platform driver, no probe, remove, suspend
and resume.

Why is one much simpler than the other? Is functionality missing in the MacBook
driver or is the corgi one just (historically) overblown? If I could safely
reduce my driver to be as simple as the macbook one I would be more than happy
to do it.

> static ?

Fixed.

> Why do you need this wrapper ?

When I studied the corgi_bl driver I noticed that some stuff is done in the
driver itself and then there is the "platform stuff". I didn't know how to
handle it and was given the suggestion to put the platform stuff also in the
driver which I did but tried to keep that textually separate. Thus the separate
sahara_init. Yet I had to call it in kb3886_init otherwise nothing else would
do. I surely didn't fully understand what I was doing when I wrote that. Have
simplified it as suggested.

If all this can be simplified even more, like is done in macbook driver, that
would be great.

Fixed, i.e. removed.

Below the fixed patch, correcting all mistakes reported by Andrey.
